Apple has unveiled a redesign for its popular song-identification app, Shazam. As spotted by 9to5Mac, this update fully embraces the company’s new “Liquid Glass” visual style.
Apple is promising a “sleek” new look for the app, but the changes go beyond cosmetics. The visual overhaul is designed to make it much easier to see your recently identified songs at a glance from the Home tab. Instead of being tucked away, they now appear directly on the home screen.
The app also features a revamped toolbar that lets you quickly switch between tabs. One of these tabs now lists nearby concerts, making it easier to see when your favorite artists are in town. The search icon has also been moved to its own button at the bottom of the app, making it more accessible.
To get the new look, make sure your device is running iOS 26. The update is available to download right now, which is great news for the millions of people who use Shazam. It remains one of the fastest and most reliable ways to identify which song is playing.
This redesign also showcases Apple’s commitment to its Liquid Glass design language. For those who aren’t fans of the transparent look, Apple recently added the ability to give it a frostier, more opaque appearance, offering users more control over their device’s aesthetics.
